      Chloe and Colt were upstairs for a while. Christina and I kept talking. Emmy said she was tired and went to the living room to cuddle with Matt. In all honesty, they're a really cute couple. He just knows exactly how to piss me off. My phone dinged and I grabbed it out of my back pocket. I need to put my credit card back into my bag.

Mom: I'm so sorry! Where are you and Dan? Are you guys okay? 

Me: We're fine, we're not coming home, and neither should you or Anne. You should stay with grandma too!

Mom: I'm so sorry Alice... I'll stay with grandma.

Me: k

      Christina got up and walked over to the fridge. I don't think any of us are going to get much sleep tonight. It's a Friday night, we skipped school, we're all coming down and still hungry! There's a big "bang" upstairs and Christina and I look at each other. We know what's going on now. We start laughing and were rolling on the floor. 

"Get some Colt!" I hear James yell in the living room.

"Shut up!" I yell at James, through tears.

"Sorry babe." He says walking into the kitchen.

      I'm still laughing and Christina is sitting on the bottom of the fridge. She's inside, I think she fell and it makes me laugh even harder. I love these people, there's never a dull moment. There never will be either. James walks over and holds out his hand for me to grab. I grab it and he helps me stand back up. 

      I wipe off my face from the tears. I can't believe they're fucking. It's probably the least likely two people in our group to fuck! Like, when did this happen? Have they been secretly screwing forever? Or is it just a "hey, we're high as hell, wanna fuck?" Kind of thing? Whatever it is, it's hilarious. No offense to Colt or anything, but Chloe didn't seem too into him. It's like a match made in hell. This is awesome, hilarious, and so damn wrong, that it's almost right!

      We all start walking to the living room. I sat on the couch with Christina and James. I stole the remote from Korbin and found Ridiculousness. It's about one thirty and I didn't realize how tired I was. I made Christina and James scoot over and I payed my head on Christina's lap and put my legs on James. Jason threw a blanket at me and on to Christina. He sat by her and they spread out the blanket over each other. James and I did the same, except I was still laying down.

      We watched Ridiculousness for a while. I ended up falling asleep and so did Christina. She had her arm draped over my neck. This is how we woke up. I mean, we weren't asleep for very long. It was maybe an hour and a half, before Colt and Chloe ran downstairs to wake us up. Everyone was asleep, we all passed out watching Ridiculousness. Story of our lives!

"Wake up you hags!" Colt yelled at us.

"Wake up bush!" Chloe said impatiently.

      It didn't take us long to fully wake up. We had only been asleep for a little bit. They looked all psyched up about something. I mean, I know they just got done screwing and everything, but seriously. What is there to be so excited about.

"I'm hungry!" Chloe complain s to me.

      She's trying to get me to stand up. I lay my head back down and turn over. Now I'm facing the back of the couch, and I pull the blanket over my head.. I'm not sure which one of them does it, but either Chloe or Colt flip the overhead lights on. The room is so bright! Even through the blanket and closed eyes.

"You assholes!" I scream standing up.

"What the hell do you want?" Chloe is laughing as I say this.

      She's not a person you want to wake up. I usually turn music on if I want her up. I turn it up a little every few minutes and eventually, she gets up. She messes with her phone for a while, and then we usually get food. I'm with her almost every weekend. She makes things easier.

      I walk into the kitchen and head for my favorite drawer. The drawer that looks worn out and old. Only because we open and close it so much. It's where we stash our grass. I grab a joint and a lighter. Chloe walks in and she lights it for me. I take a toke and hand it to her. 

"What do you two asshats want?" As I say this, smoke rolls out of my mouth.

"McDonald's." She says, after she smokes half of my joint.

"Damn, if that's how you would've woken me up, we could've already been there!" I says.

      I still have the joint in my hand as I'm walking to get my Vans. I walk up the stairs and I just keep smoking my grass. I turn left and walk into my beautiful room. I open the bag with my shoes and grab my Vans. I unzip the front pouch of my Adidas bag, and grab a pair of no show socks. I put on my socks and slip on my Vans. I take another toke and blow some smoke rings on my way downstairs.

      I ask Colt for the keys and he walks into the library, or computer room, I'm not sure what to call it. He walks out with the keys to the van and he throws them to me. I open the front door and it's pitch black outside. I hand the rest of the joint to Chloe and she finishes it as we walk out the the stupid van, to go to McDonald's, at three in the morning. This is why we get no sleep...
